Hammer Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hi all, I'm currently planning a new box file diorama inspired by Edinburgh's Abbeyhill Station. I was wondering if you chaps could point me in the direction of any high quality photos of the site. All I'm working on just now are a few small pictures on RailScot and a local history website. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belsay Lad Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hi If you can obtain a copy of 'An Illustrated History of Edinburgh's Railways' by W A C Smith & Paul Anderson (published by Irwell Press in 1995), ISBN 1-871608-59-7, there is a view of the station taken from the platforms in 1964 on page 85.

I'd seen the first page (and spent rather a lot of time looking at various pictures on the site), but the second and third pages are new to me. The Historical Monuments Commission page is of particular use - there seem to be few photos of the station from the front.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might find it difficult to buy a copy of this book as it has been out of print for years and the asking price for secondhand copies is quite high. Edinburgh City Libraries do have a couple of copies which can be borrowed but you may have to go into alibrary to order it, as the last time I looked online it said they were reference only. Despite that I was able to order it through the desk. It is an interesting book and it would be great of it was reprinted. Best of luck with the diorama.

PinzaC55 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I took this photo of the roadside of the station in 1980. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=121315 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
